Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets Future Is an ‘Open Thing,’ Reporter Says

Nikola Jokic’s long-term future with the Denver Nuggets remains uncertain, according to reporter Tim Kawakami, although a return next season is considered likely. Jokic previously declined a four-year, $278 million extension and could qualify for a five-year supermax deal worth an estimated $359.5 million to $388 million next offseason. He also holds a $62.8 million player option for 2027-28, giving him control over whether he reaches free agency.
